1956 Mantle PSA 5....What is this sticker?? (Purple Label Company)

CobbSpikedMe · #1 04-29-2018, 02:26 PM

Are there colored stickers for lesser graded cards. Like a 7 that really should've been a 6. Or are we just pumping up cards with these purple stickers which really mean nothing?

So Purple Label people, what if any credentials do you have and why do you not list a contact name, city state or other identifying info on your website and or facebook page??? SMH...

Hi. I did not expect a discussion to be started so soon but here we are...

For those of you who don�t know me, my name is Greg Campbell. I run the eBay store Rookie-Parade and I am the owner of Purple Label, LLC. Our product was tested for the first time at the Shriners card show in Massachusetts this weekend to an overall positive response.

I am readily available to answer any questions. You can reach me on here or use the contact page on the website.

The site is about 99% complete. The database has full functionality as of right now. All stickered cards have a QR code which links the user directly to the website (which is very mobile friendly). Any of our certified cards can be looked up by serial number. You can find a full explanation of the sticker and exactly what it represents right on the home page.

At this time we are not accepting public submissions, but this will change in the near future. We are looking forward to making submissions fully accessible to everyone. As of right now, you will have to meet us in person at trade shows to receive the product.

As for my credentials, it would be unbecoming to boast about myself for representation of the company. If other people wish to list my accolades they are free to do so.

I will say this about our forward vision: we are going �full steam ahead� on this venture. I am looking to run a square and consistent operation only. This product will speak for itself. Get your hands on some Purple Label cards to really see the quality. I am not looking to put out a half-baked, ill-concocted service....the sticker is only for premium quality cards with great eye appeal that look nice for the grade.

As I said before, the website is still awaiting some content so stay tuned. Complete contact, business, and background info will be available very soon. Keep checking back.

I am excited to launch this and I would like to say thank you to everyone who is already supporting the brand.

Cheers,

Greg

So naturally, you own product got the purple stickers. Talk about being an unbiased party (rolls eyes).

I think I can buy some "purple stars"....I can get some at Wal-Mart or the local teacher's supply store. I will put them on my cards that I believe are better than the assigned grade. Who wants me to put "purple stars" on the cards coming back from the group sub?

I get it, and it makes sense for a card graded a PSA, SGC , BGS,1etc .I’ve seen cards graded a 1 that are off the charts destroyed.I’ve seen cards graded a one that are nice and I wouldn’t mine owning. The issue I have is a psa 10 with a purple sticker. Is that even possible to achieve? Is a 9 with a purple sticker almost a 10? This is where it gets confusing. When I think of a 6 or 7 then I think I can see the difference in a better 6 or7.

Ps I think most people have a very personal taste in the cards they collect. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people don’t like certain flaws on a card (crease,writing,off center,) others don’t care about theses flaws.

I wish you the best of luck. If people are silly enough to send stuff to grading companies to begin with why not charge them for a second opinion.

Peter_Spaeth · #9 04-30-2018, 12:10 PM

Useless in my humble opinion.

#10 04-30-2018, 01:02 PM

I still don't understand what the sticker means and what I do once I get it ? Is a sticker card guaranteed to gain a point ? Does it sell for more ? Is this even legal ?

LOL at a card with a qualifier and a purple sticker. It's a high-end 6(ST) I guess.

When one sees a group of 10 cards all the same year with this supposedly very selective sticker, it undermines the credibility, IMO anyhow.

I do hope that those are not your consignments that you stickered yourself.
